In the movie, Pansy's hair is black, though I don't believe it is defined in the books themselves.

OC Original character, a character you created that doesn't actually belong in the series/movie, etc. you are writing about.

OOC Out Of Character, as in the character is not acting like themselves, as they are defined in the books or movie. Alternately, some people accidentally type this for OC too, which can make for some confusion.

AU Alternate Universe, it means that basically you can do anything and ignore the books if you want, though it's usually an excuse for covering up poor writing IMO.

IMO In My Opinion. P

This chapter was a little better, but I find it odd that Ron seems to be only lusting after Hermione, and is willing to forsake their friendship for a shag. Not that I think it's unrealistic (us guys are scum), but it is just a smidge OOC.

Also, as attractive as Hermione supposedly is now, why does *every* guy except Harry want a shag (or so I gather from this chapter)? It seems unlikely, with the wide spectrums of taste out there, that it would be so unanimous. Take J-Lo for instance, often voted as the hottest female in mens magazine polls, even she has less of a success rate.

Otherwise very good chapter, I really liked the Lavender parts, I thought Ron was pretty mean/unfair to her in HBP, so combined with what he just did, he deserved that kick. )

The story has promise, because of the pairing, but some of the dialog seems odd. I can't imagine Draco using the word scum like that, or every single person being so vocally mean-spirited about everything. Hermione particularly seems OOC. I want to see more, but better pacing and more realistic dialoge could make this *great*.
